Lee Mason

VAR? its supposed to remove clangers

As usual its gone missing when a clanger happens

Artificial controversy as per usual with it

Problem with var....


Then, now, we ain't got a clue why


He may have got it right, but nobody knows why,


Simply not acceptable.

Very poor, but It's made me ton and a half, so, not complaining.

Saw loads of var in the cricket, see it in the rugby

And they tell you what's going on, what they are
looking at, and why the decision has been given.

Football fudges it, and covers up to suit agenda after.

The ball was in the net by the time he whistled a 2nd time, both Mason and Hooper should be sacked for that

Var should be getting involved and telling him no sorry you blew and its a goal

West Broms players should have the moral decency to let Brighton score after that shambles anyway, but with the money involved morals go out the window

A new low for EPL refereeing and VAR, of course come Monday and ref watch, the stooge ref they have on will be telling us the ref was correct and VAR worked perfectly...(i've no skin in the game either)


A complete and utter farce.

Another excellent use of VAR  - I love it -   brilliant system -   


Guess who is on west brom?

Brighton miss 2 pens, absolutely pathetic for a "top" division team.

the commentator says' ball back to Welbeck in an offside position' !! God, has anyone got a clue in this game any more, or is there a completely new rule book out there?

Sky commentators embarrassing themselves about why free kick against Welbeck after the penalty

dito

did it come back to him without another player touching it?

came back off the post.

that's what i thought.

Did he think Welbeck kicked it twice ?

If it hit the post and came out to Wellbeck he isn't allowed to hit it again, unless the keeper or another player touches it first.

I really want Brighton to be relegated, I am sick to the back teeth of listening to all these fooking expected goals anoraks (and guardiola) telling us how good Potter and the team are

Des, ye, a stupid rule change i'd forgotten about, so correct decision. But obviously a new rule is ref's whistle noise must have stopped echoing around the empty stadium before a free-kick can be taken.

Nuno got fined 25k for saying Mason not good enough for Premier League

VAR  MAY BE BAD,MASON MATY BE ROTTON but their a 1000% better than strelling.,merson and co who are constantly wrong about every decision,they were wrong about lev goal agaqinstyl,pool but no chance of admitting they got it wrong.and their looking at same pics as reffs

Make it up as they go, the original offside rule was an attacker in the box not in line with the defenders?

Now its pretty much up to the halfway line

Its absolutely pathetic, but its done on purpose to create "controversy", we seriously need to bin the elites version of the game and re-create our own

I think Mr Mason will be confined to my home town of Bolton come the next round of EPL fixtures with some gardening leave as that was a complete and utter shambles of his own making and making matters far worse by reversing his decision to originanlly not allow the goal by awarding the goal to Brighton  then reversing that after VAR got involved then VAR state the goal was cancelled because on the 2nd whistle the ball had not entered the goals well from what i saw that was totally wrong as IMO the ball has already crossed the line a moment before the 2nd whistle.

if referees are allowed to whistle (a 2nd time) to overturn an original whistle where will it end ... madness

no no   mr mason is a brilliant referee

guess who won!!??

Brighton robbed and it goes back to last season as well with the ghost goal which ultimately kept Villa up

Same s*it could happen here only this time its WBA benefitting

They deserve relegation for appointing that filthy crook

I didn't know Redknapp was at WBA.

No its the other filthy crook Sam Allerdyce

They get caught red handed and just have a few months out the limelight and then waltz back into a nice paying job its quite something to behold

I remember a Sam Allardyce but nobody called Allerdyce.

We've got the spelling police...

I find it hard to believe that your good self has actually made a spelling mistake and there was me searching for some Spanish manager of that name

Glad he got spelling right

Allerdyce is a crook that's all that needs to be said

indeed he has also been manager of England not the 1st and certainly the last crim to lead Ankglertere

Not forgetting with all the stop/start/stop again, the game was nearly as long as an nfl match

It is a stupid rule.

Why should the defence get the advantage of holding up play, getting all their players back and building a wall after they have committed a foul disadvantaging the attacking team?

Quick free kick chances ar usually allowed by the better standard refs, when I played a good ref would tell both sides before ko that he'd try and let the game flow, allow quick free kicks etc. And tell the goalies to be aware of this.

Lee Mason is feigning injury now

Cameras everywhere, pundits galore and VAR, are all highlighting just how many mistakes refs and linesmen make in a match. BUT, we used to accept it, admittedly we didn't know about most of them(like the fingernail offsides etc), and moved on. All the post match talk on every game is now about right/wrong decisions and not about the football. A disaster for genuine football fans. Is it too late to go back?

Very true and most of these “ experts “ don’t even ‘ know the laws of the game!

Ref made a mistake, and somehow managed to correct himself.


Had he allowed the goal, it would then be ruled out for offside.

Doing a "Pogba".

I bet this so called injury lasts at least 2 weeks as well craftily invented by PGMOL so they are not seen to be suspending him for incompetence

tbf he was producing a lot of head sweat hope he ok

there isn't one of you on here who could ref one of these games  and you would never keep up with it all

so remain silent

To be fair i was at the game and it was the first time in a while where it felt like there was an atmosphere and not completely sterile due to the lack of fans.
That free kick incident lit up the whole stadium and granted there were only about 30-40 of us in the press box but it was great. Both benches going nuts, Players kicking off,  the commentators arguing as to why it was/wasn't a goal. It was almost like being a proper match day experience :)
